| Family inclusion | Eligibility depends on the sponsor's precise Hungarian residence status. OIF excludes or restricts family reunification for several temporary statuses, including White Card, study, guest-worker and ordinary employment permits; eligible categories can include EU Blue Card, Hungarian Card, National Card, research and guest-investor residence, subject to the applicable conditions. Do not infer work or long-term-residence rights from the sponsor's permit.As of 2026-09-22Source 1 |
